Re: [TCML] Interesting Spark Gap

[bartb <bartb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think arcing along the length would help prevent hot spots. From that 
stand point, not a bad way to do it. As long as the disc was machined 
well, it should do a good job. I expect this gap could handle more power 
than it's rated for.

Take care,
Bart
